Our Pasture

Prepping for Arrival

Ryan Kraeger

We have a tank coming tomorrow.

Not an army tank, a rainwater catchment tank.

So Ryan and Adam spent a good chunk of the afternoon planning out exactly how we were going to get a 700lb tank in place between the barn and the pole barn without damaging themselves or any other important infrastructure.

All set up! And now we remind ourselves of Seppu, whenever he tells me, “Daddy, this is really dangerous, but I know how to do it.”

"I only remember the very first part of the book where he described the man of steel and velvet and I remember the deep chord that phrase struck. I remember the image I had of a hand of living steel wearing a velvet glove, a hand that could crush or caress, strike a killing blow or wipe away tears, lift mountains or cradle an infant. The rest of the book was an afterthought." From an essay about Aubrey Andelin's "Man of Steel and Velvet".
